Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A new skill development initiative has been launched in the Marathwada region to strengthen the industrial and professional ecosystem. The programme is a joint effort by the Chamber of Marathwada Industries and Agriculture and MIT Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

Officials said the initiative will offer a series of advanced training sessions for industry professionals, management executives, and young professionals. The aim is to improve skills that are important in today’s fast-changing industrial environment.

The training will cover key topics such as strategic communication, leadership development, emotional intelligence, productivity, stress management, innovation, and problem-solving. Organisers said the sessions are designed to be practical and relevant to current industry needs.

The modules, developed by MIT, will focus on improving communication skills and decision-making. They will also include global communication practices, data-based thinking, and the ability to adapt to change. The goal is to help professionals become better leaders and improve overall organisational performance.

The first session in the series is titled “Strategic Communication and Influence". It will be held on April 16, 2026, from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm at the CMIA Hall in Bajaj Bhavan, Railway Station, MIDC area.
